I do indeed own an Itrip, and will say that this is a great product. Its a little tricky finding a strong station not close to other station in the Bay Area but i did manage to find a couple. No drifting of the stations over time either. I traveled just yesterday through three counties and it didnt skip a beat. The only bad part of this product i believe is the fact that you need to have Musicmatch Jukebox installed to install the playlist for the stations. Really all you have to do is copy and paste your own playlist from the cd and have it recognized by whatever your using ie. Ephpod or Xplay. Well worth the 35 dollars.

I have been using my new iTrip for a week and I like it. It does not have the sound quality of a cassette adapter but, for the convenience it cannot be beat! No cables! There is occasional radio noise, but I am using it in my car. Cars and radios have built-in noise anyway. I give it a thumbs up.

Re: "Straight out of Liverpool"
I have a question: I have extremely long legs and so I am not very quick on my feet (good on endurance, but not explosiveness on my feet). My doctor recommends I stay away from squats and deadlifts because of previous problems so would my next best bet to train better explosiveness on my feet be sprinting?

Re: "Straight out of Liverpool"
I havent looked in these forums for some time, but i looked today. And i saw that "Straight out of Liverpool" is still in affect, still a sticky. To be honest i can't really be bothered with the articles anymore, that was short lived. I mean if you want some serious advice, see a doctor.
But i am back, and straight Liverpool, is about to head in different direction, it is redemption, no question.
Straight Out of Liverpool, is now going to become the official Journal, and documentation, of this man.
"It has been done before on Eastside, but you got to ask yourself the question, has it been done buy me"
The answer is No, point blank.
No black man has ever did it on eastside, like i am about to do.
Totally different level i am coming at you people, we all have different ambitions, your going to follow me attempt mine, if i fail it won't be the first time.
"But if i am still alive, how can i fail"
Boxing, well its been some time in making, that promised myself that i would step into the ring to fight as a amateur, i have been on and off for about 1 year. For most of my life i have been a keen athlete, in the sport of track and field. I sustained a injury and lost interests, last year, after a long hard battle. I was reduced to, turning up to competitions without no training and competing just for the fun of it.
"Disrespecting myself, in life other people may disrespect you, but never disrespect yourself"
Today i am going down the track to have a track training session, with a new group, which potentially could take over Merseyside.
More to come, this is Hustlers Ambition, i am a nobody, i am just unorganized, undedicated student, i am potential that may never be relized.
"I was 21 years old this year, big year. And i was sitting in the pub with one of my mates not long after my birthday"
We have been friends since Nursery, i turned and asked him the question.
"When you where younger, did you envision your life being like this at are age"
He said no, and kind of looked sad.
"I said me neither"
Since then i have been thinking about life in generally.
And i am not happy, when i was a young kid. I would always stand up in class, and say i want to be Olympic Champion. That may never happen, but i got to strive to be the best i can be, like i used too when i was younger.
"That same young me as kid, wouldnt like how things have turned out"
So this is for The Kid.

Re: "Straight out of Liverpool"
Part 1 of 2
Yeah man
First week back at Uni, first week back in general. I had a track training session last night, with newly formed athletics training group unattached. Workout was just a grass workout, purely conditioning. I did suffer during the training session, and was unable to complete all the reps, "objective was failed". You see physically, I never look out of shape, but performance wise Aerobically, Anaerobically I am not in condition. And its simple maths, a well conditioned me = a lot of dead mother ****ers.
It's a different kind of pain on the track, and psychologically and physical. You cannot escape the pain of the track, but in boxing you can avoid getting hit, potentially escape the pain.
You cannot avoid the pain of back to back 200's lactate tolerance training session. But overtime you will be able to injure that pain, almost disrespect it, and reach of level which I call "Machine". I level of psychological strength and physical conditioning, the body becomes machine.
In my life time, i have only ever known 4 machines, from my track and field athletic days.
"I was one of them!" i was once a machine, when i was cut, i didn't bleed"
My coach once suggested, me and my training partner Jay, should undergo a DNA TEST.
"To test if we where still human"
"I am still part machine, i still show signs in everyday life"
And ever since then i have longed to return back to this status/level, i still have nightmares, and i wake up in pain, my body in this human state, is damaged off the micro trauma my muscle and cells, sustained during them times when i was machine.
"When i was bad"
But there is only one way "High Intensity Aerobic/Anaerobic workouts". Last time I was in the boxing gym, I almost laughed when I was skipping.
"It's for girls, its looks good, but let's be real about it, it's not hardcore"
It's good for co-ordination mainly, and just generally Aerobic fitness.
Nothing phases me with boxing conditioning wise, what's more important for me personally as athlete is the technically stand point, sparring, busting people up. You have to take the natural instinct outside the ring in fight situation, and convert that into the ring, with technique, and composure etc
Yesterday I also done a conditioning circuit with push up handles, I wear I back pack on my back, and put some Weights Plates in it, 2 x 15kg = 30kg back pack. And that's how I do my push ups. Hits the core muscle real hard, which are very important for all athletes.
Russian twist, with weights.
Curling Bar
Burpee Jumps
Next week, I will return to the boxing gym. You see you have to pay subs, its only £2. Oh well I am feeling kind of generous, I might take a £20 note down, throw the money about like Floyd Mayweather. Pay 10 weeks worth of subs off. Because this will give the extra incentive, to get in there and learn, possible kick some ass.
People asking me on myspace, when I am coming back, I am coming back don't worry about it.

Re: "Straight out of Liverpool"

Part 2
The "Original Machine"/ 2 Machines reunite
Tuesday 0600 hours, destination the track, the year was 2004.
As i sit here now, i can say that almost 3 years ago, i discovered that Man could become Machine.
I distinctly remember that day, i witnessed a Man mutate, change, into a Machine before my eye's.
His name was Craig "The Original Machine", a 1500m/800m track athlete. That particular day i was sitting out the training session and just watching, observing my fellow training partners training, putting there mind and bodies through pain, i like to call it positive pain.
It was a cold, icy, winters night. It was Dark outside, but some bad ****ers train in the dark, some bad ****ers like me used to train in night every ****ing week.
Yes so i was observing Craig doing, 1500m reps. He was knocking out about 4.1xx/4.20, if i can remember the recovery between reps it was 5-8mins, aprox.
"But as i stood there in my Nike Air Max, Hoody, and New York wooly hat, and i was wearing leather gloves, something was different in the Air that night"
"As i stood there next to my Coach, i noticed something different about Craig that night also, something very bad"
On the 6th rep, he was crying, and after he finished he fell to the fall, and was crying like a little girl. He was in pain, he said that the Icy Air was hurting his lungs.
I thought that was it, this man cannot go on, psychologically he was broken down, he was crying tears.
But as my Coach went over to help him up off the ground.
Craig stood up, and just stood there on the starting line. And i looked at his face, this time it was angry. No other emotions where evident.
"The coach shouted, 1 min, signally the time remaining on recovery"
In that 1 min, in that 60seconds remaining. Before my eye's i saw a Man become machine, no longer human.
"He was in pain, but something inside was disrespecting that pain"
That last rep, Craig set the fastest time he had recorded all night.
I pointed at him, and said to my coach.
That man is a machine.
And there it was, the first Machine Born, it happened that night. At that track, in are small but fearsome training group.
Little did we know, that over the course of the next Year, 3 more Machines would be born, objective's to terminate whatever in there path.
I was the youngest of all Machines.
How and why it happened, i still don't know the full truth.
Can i, can we return, Can i become Machine again. Thats what we are going to find out.
"Will i die in the process? Maybe
3 years Later, out of the 4 machines, None remain. None of us train together no more since we moved training destination, ones a Lawyer, One's in the Navy. Injuries, Motivation, maybe we werent ready, thats why we all broke down. The rise and fall of the machines there is still allot more to undercover, still many more questions. And now resurrection if it happens.
War is Imminent, humans attempts to stop us will be futile, with their primitive skills there as good as dead.
"2 of us, remained part Machine for some unknown reason"
I was one of them 2, and we reunited the other night, at the track.

Re: "Straight out of Liverpool"
So 3 years ago, i discovered that Man could become Machine. It was 2004 and we still had a hard winters training left, until the season started in early March 2005.
I was always a athlete that like to talk the talk, but i admit i was lazy back then. I was too concerned with looking good, i would miss reps in training, if i thought i couldn't win that pacturclar rep.
That all came to ahead not long after the Original Machine was born, Craig confronted me at the start of a training session not long after that.
"And was telling me to try harder, we had a heated argument, i actually thought about hitting Craig "The Original Machine, because of some of the things he said where taking to far"
But i was inspired anyway, by this mans inspiration. You see i was young, the youngest out of all 4 Machines.
Craig "The Original Machine" would be shorted lived, because he entered into the Navy, but i would always remember the words of wisdom, and kick ass attitude this crude, violent man had. He was like the white Mike Tyson, a very gentle voice aswell, but always fighting. He even got kicked out the Navy for fighting, years back.
I was 18, and thought to myself, if am going to do anything any sport, give it 100%, if i feel pain, and i look bad.
"So ****ing what"
So in the wind, rain, snow, cold ice, whatever weather i would train, with that atitude. I would always wear black leather gloves, and a Black New York wooly hat.
"That's a sign of a bad man"
3 more Machines would be born after "The Original" Machine enter into the Navy.
First there was Jay T, a totally different kind of machine. He was a 400m/800m/1500 track athlete. He was once ranked in the Top 5 in the UK, when he was U15. But for some unknown reason, he retired and disappeared for years away from the sport. Only to return, 5 years later.
At the same track, "The Original Machine" was born. The first time i saw Jay T, he was just standing on the track, holding a bottle of volvic water.
"No expression on his face"
He didn't tell anybody specifically why he returned, he just said he wanted to train again, and boy oh boy could he train.
Next was Big Patrick, and believe me he was big. He was another 800m athlete, nothing but brute strength got this man around the track.
And then there was me, the youngest of all 4. With the widest range of events, 100m, 200m, 400m, Long Jump, Triple Jump, high Jump. Like i said before a well conditioned me, anybody else who would challenged me as a youngster.
"Had a very bad day"
I have always been quite arrogant, and can get very jealous. This is what created a fearsome training rivalry between me and Jay T. Because he was notoriously known for his past achievements, plus people recognize him as the best athlete in are training group.
"I totally disagreed with this"
I would call him out to a 400m race, when we would train together, after finishing reps. I would taut him, and say
"Is that all you got"
But most of the time i was just playing mind games, because i was in immense pain. I used to always lie on the floor during recovery between sets in training sessions. This all changed with the introduction of the Machines, i never liked showing weakness ever again.
"So i would stand up, with my hands on my hips, always wearing leather gloves in the winter.
The purpose of winter training in track and field athletics, is to build strength/endurance, build the foundation, for the whole season.
And there's only one way to build that, and your going to feel pain, bad mothers ****ers train in the night. And still walk home on the streets, that's what i used to do.
As the season started i ran a PB, in every single race. Constantly getting better, it was my first year at doing 400m. And i was consistent at running 53.xx.
Around came the Merseyside Championships, and i reached 2 track finals. In the 400m and the 200m, i also got Bronze Medal in the 200m.
It was the same story for all the machines, same path of destruction.
After the Merseyside Championship, are group decided to have a 7 week training block, and just purely concentrate on training. Building speed endurance and sharpness, lower the volume, but increase the intensity.
This meant back to back 200's, one of the most feared training sessions for all track athletes. Building lactate tolerance, and speed endurance, aerobic and anaerobic fitness and a high intensity.
200m 90sec recovery 200m.
That's One set. And we would do 3 sets. And you have 8mins recovery between sets.
4 weeks into this training block, it was apparent that Jay T, Big Patrick, and Myself had surpassed, what are coach thought was possible.
"This was the point where she suggest, we all had a DNA test, to see if we where still human"
The Key to doing back to back 200's is the intensity, you aim to run at 95% intensity. So this is near enough all out, if your pb for the 200m in a singe race is 22.
"Then you want to be hitting 23sec, which is incredible brutal"
Both energy systems, Aerobic and Anaerobic will be pushed to the max.
Are Coach adapted the training session to.
2 x 200m 60seconds recovery between reps.
5 mins between sets.
Total of 4 sets.
Which is totally unheard of, and i can't even think about myself sprinting intensity with such short recovery times.
"I used to think, i would have to put myself to hospital, just recover from training session"
"You are not meant to die on the track, and believe i did die in 2005, something happened during that 7 week height intensity training block"
I would question, weather Machines could become something else, can it be surpassed.
At the end of the 7 week training block, i was ready.
We all competed at a relay event, 4 x 400m relay. I was running the 3rd leg, Jay T was on the last Leg. Big Patrick was on the 2nd leg, he would pass the baton to me.
After we suffered on the first leg, we where way out of the race, weren't in contention for the top 3 paces, where the big points are.
"This all changed when the baton came to me, all changed "The Black Terminator got the Baton"
And remember what i said before, a well conditioned me, equals a very bad day for everyone else. It's simple maths = alot of dead mother ****ers.
"It just happened to be that day, ****ers where going to die on that 3rd leg"
From 6th place, within the first 200m, i pulled are team back into contention. At the 200m mark, i was level with the 3rd place athlete.
"Down the back straight, i got parallel with him and then turned my head, and put my arms down at my sides"
"And i started talking to this guy, along the lines of your going to get your beat, and i was laughing too"
Then i sprinted away, and got us right behind the leader.
When i handed the baton to Jay T, i knew it was "Game Over", time to go home for the other athletes.
I had Curly hair back then, i took my top off after sprinting my 400m leg. And i was flexing my muscles, to my coach and whoever esle was looking. It was summer time, and we would all train with are tops off, even girls use to sit on the track steps and watch me train.
"But yes, We won the relay"
I got excited and was shouted, that "I did the damage on the 3rd leg"
I also approached the club manger, and said i will break the 100m, 200m, 400m long standing club records the next time i step on the track.
"All in the same day, that's how confident i was"

Rafael Cruz: Gay Marriage Part Of 'Agenda To Destroy America'
The day after the Supreme Court heard the Obergefell marriage cases, Rafael Cruz spoke to a Republican group in Alvin, Texas, where he made frequent warnings about the supposed threat of legalizing same-sex marriage.
While boasting that his son, Ted Cruz, has introduced two measures in the U.S. Senate to block a Supreme Court marriage equality ruling, Cruz told the audience that "we are going to have to stand firm on the agenda to destroy America."
"I lost my freedom once, I'm not willing to lose it again. I will die fighting before I lose it again and so should you," he added.
Cruz said that America is experiencing "a lot of persecution against Christians" and predicted that if the Supreme Court rules to "legalize homosexual marriage…the next thing that is going to come is the government coming to your church and saying 'you must hire a homosexual pastor, you must perform homosexual marriages.' We are going to come to a crossroads in America. We're going to have to decide whether we obey God or we obey government if that's what's coming. This is about religious persecution."
He also falsely claimed that Congress once made the Bible the principal textbook in public schools and alleged that both prayer and the Bible are now "banned in public schools." (The Supreme Court only barred government-organized prayers).
Cruz blamed the court for a surge in violent crime and the resulting billions of dollars spent by the government to fight it: "Even from an economic standpoint, we've invested billions and billions of dollars combating crime that was caused by removing prayer and Bible reading from schools."

First Glance 12L
These quarterly reports highlight key indicators of 12th District banking conditions.
First Quarter 2016: Conditions Remained Healthy but Prone to Greater Volatility
Posted May 24, 2016
The 1Q16 issue of First Glance 12L shows the District's economic and commercial bank performance remained sound. However, caution increased among equity and debt markets during 1Q16, crimping commercial mortgage securitization activity and venture capital deal volumes. Also, the authors noted that economic and banking statistics in most 12th District states have a history of above-average business cycle volatility.
Fourth Quarter 2015: Will 2015 be the High Point for District Bank Credit Quality?
Posted February 25, 2016
The 4Q15 issue of First Glance 12L shows District jobs expanded and overall bank credit quality improved notwithstanding economic slowing abroad and commodity and equity price volatility. Regardless, 2015 was marked by historic low net charge-off activity and may be tough to beat for credit performance metrics.

This was a bit time consuming to make, but worth the effort. The dark rich chocolate was amazing. It tasted like the "chocolate pate" you can get in some expensive restaurants. A big hit, and definitely moving into the family favourite collection.
Chocolate Decadence
From EatingWell: January/February 2011
Inspired by the (now) old-school, ultra-rich, mousselike chocolate cake that usually called for a whole pound of chocolate, half a dozen eggs and lots of butter, here is an enlightened rendition with deep bittersweet chocolate flavor and that dense melt-in-your-mouth texture so characteristic of the genre. No one will guess it's healthier. The secret is excellent natural cocoa powder and good-quality bittersweet chocolate, preferably with 70% cacao. Although the cake can be eaten once it's completely cool, it comes out of the pan much easier and even tastes better if it has been chilled at least overnight.
18 Reviews for Chocolate Decadence
We all loved this. I made it exactly per the recipe (minus the orange peel) and wouldn't change a thing. Very rich and chocolatey!
Mine did not come out nearly as pretty as the picture. The flavor was really intense. I didn't make the candied orange peel, which would have probably been a nice contrast.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Collector Bed & Breakfast Amsterdam
The Collector was Dynamic!
Thankyou for a wonderful stay at The Collector. Convieniently located near the Trams. My Host Karel was available to provide me with ideas for enjoying my stay. The room was large and very comfortable - like home. The beds were wonderful as I never woke up with any pain. Located in an upscale neighborhood with windows overlooking an enclosed common backyard area. I enjoyed the quiet and the feeling of what it would be like to live in Amsterdam. The kitchen and self made breakfasts (food provided by my host) also made my stay comfortable. There was also a computer available for e mail. The neighborhood was very safe and I enjoyed walking everywhere. I would recommend The Collector.
Lovely B & B
We stayed at the Collector for a couple of nights for our short break in Amsterdam. The only thing wrong was the fact that we should have stayed a lot longer. There is so much to see and do. We had two rooms as we were travelling with friends and although both were different they were up to a high standard. The beds are enormous and comfy and there is a veranda for chilling out. I liked the idea of the kitchen and the do it yourself breakfast. It made a nice compromise because you can have what you are used to and also have the chance to try something new. It was so easy to get about with the tram stop just across the road. Would definately like to come back again next year.
Great Place to Stay in Amsterdam!
The Collector was a wonderful place to stay. Karel is a very gracious host and is always willing to go the extra mile to help you out with anything you'd need.
The B&B is very conveniently located. We never had a problem getting anywhere.
The internet access is great to keep in touch with home.
The do it yourself breakfast is great. You don't have to worry about waking up in time for breakfast if you want to sleep in. I will definitely stay here on my next trip to Amsterdam.
Choose The Collector!
Karel looks after every detail in his effort to make your stay most comfortable. The rooms are immaculate and the atmosphere is friendly, nothing is a problem for the host. The district is perfect for the Museums and Concert Gebouw, there are also a few excellent restaurants nearby, making this a great choice of place to stay. Tram networks into the centre are literally on the doorstep. You can't go wrong here!
Hats off to Karel Poels of the B&B "The Collector". I have had the pleasure of two vists to Amsterdam and on both occasions enjoyed the hospitality provided by Karel.
Situated just on the outskirts of downtown with the 16 tram at the front door and the 2 tram only two blocks away, any area in Amsterdam is only minutes away.
The rooms are quaint and extremely clean and tidy with a kitchen area well stocked with any type of food or libation you may require.
After a full day of touring the city you can relax in your room or on the adjoining balcony and enjoy the courtyard view with it's profuse of flowers and trees.
Karel is a most accomadating host and more than helpfull with any requests or information we could ask.
I plan on returning to Amsterdam in the future and cannot imagine staying anywhere other than "The Collector".
Kim Peter Davis
Special hidden gem
A great little bed and breakfast - in a lovely location near some great restaurants and straight off the (no.16) tram .
Karel provides a home from home abroad - with the biggest most comfortable bed i have ever slept in.
We're going back next year too!
Charming place to stay
We were there in March, when the weather wasn't so good, actually it was bad, but the place we found was brilliant.
Karel - the owner - is a very helpful, kindness and nice person.
The place is within walking distance from the centre but there is a good connection by tram.
I can recommend to everyone who visits the city.
Perfect place to stay in museum district
We had booked two separate places to stay in Amsterdam and The Collector was where we stayed for the first part of our trip. By the time we checked out, we wished we had booked our whole trip at The Collector.
It is comfortable, modern and clean. There are lovely little collections around the B&B that give it the feeling of home. Our room had huge windows and a gorgeous view of the gardens in the back. The bed was very comfortable. Karel had even put fresh flowers in our room.
We had full use of the kitchen, which was always stocked with little Dutch goodies, cheese, fresh fruit, breads, meats, etc. Warning: they do not prepare your breakfast here. But everything you can possibly want is at your fingertips, and there is plenty to eat.
The owner, Karel, is kind and helpful. Karel keeps tons of info on things to do around town and where to eat. Also, the free internet access can be helpful when making last minute plans.
The location of the hotel is great, especially if you are planning to see the museums. It is walking distance to the Van Gogh Museum, Concertgebouw, Rijksmuseum, Albert Cuyp Market and Vondelpark. The neighborhood is quiet and safe and a wonderful area to explore on foot.
We had an unfortunate incident at another hotel in Amsterdam and had to change hotels in the middle of the night. We had no idea what to do or where to go. We called Karel to see if our room there was available. He was fully booked, but helped us find a room at another B&B, all at midnight.
When you leave this place, not only do you have a wonderful memory and place to stay next time, you feel like you have made a friend in Amsterdam.
A Jewel in Amsterdam
My husband and I found this B & B on the Internet. The write up was good and there were lots of pictures so that you could actually see what you were getting! This was our 3rd trip to Amsterdam and this was for a special occasion our 10th Wedding anniversary.
I sent an Email asking if the dates were OK for a 5 night stay in September and I got a prompt and informative email back very quickly affirming that he did indeed have a room for that period of time, after another email to ask a few questions we booked it.
We had a bad start as we missed our ferry at Harwich due to bad weather conditions and the traffic flow problems. We rang Karel, the proprietor, to let him know that we were going to be getting into Amsterdam around midnight, in the end we got in around 02.30am ! ! If you miss the morning ferry from harwich, go the following day and not the evening ferry!
All this Karel took in his stride, told us not to worry he would be up to let us in, which he did!
We awoke the next morning to discover a lovely large airy room, with a big bathroom and a balcony to boot. (Needless to say we had not taken much time earlier that morning to take in the surroundings!)
The kitchen is full of all the utensils even a dishwaster to put the dirties in, just like home and the fridge was laden with cheeses, cold cut meats, milk, pancakes, jams, juice, eggs etc to help yourself to in the morning. There was tea and a coffee perculator and a large selection of fruits and bread.
The room was cleaned every morning for you and the bed was changed once between our stay. The room was kept beautifully clean.
One day we came back to discover fresh flowers, assorted peanuts and cheese bites awaiting us.
Karel was very helpful, and friendly and answered all our questions. There was a huge amount of information brochures, books and leaflets and there was also use of the internet throughout the stay.
The location was excellent with a tram line right outside the door, and food at Leidespein just 10 minutes walk away. It was also around the corner to Vondelpark, the casino and the museums. We did a lot of walking around and walked into the centre every evening without difficulty.
We would highly recommend this B & B for cleanliness, hospitality and friendliness, and will no doubt visit again soon.
Thank you to Karel.
Fabulous find! A must-stay every time you are in Amsterdam.
This was a fabulous find! The Collector is conviently located a couple of blocks away from the Opera house, Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum. Our host Karl was very nice, explaining and answering our many tourist questions. We stayed in a very large room decorated with lovely antiques. Our room had a balcony that overlooked a quiet courtyard. There was no air-conditioning but we could leave the balcony door open all night and it cooled down to a very comfortable degree. The bathroom was very clean and quite large (for Europe). The double bed we had seemed new, and was very comfortable. The room had some other amenities; a small TV, two clotheslines on balcony, and a in-room safe.
Breakfast is self-serve, which worked perfect for us. Karl has everything you could need to make a great breakfast or lunch. We had a choice of fresh bread, cereal, pancakes, yogurt, cheeses, meats, eggs, milk and other items every morning. If you don't find something at Karl's to eat(?), there is a large supermarket a couple blocks away!
There is a computer, which we used quite frequently, in entry way for everyone's use.
I would strongly recommend this B&B. We had a splendid experience and hope to return again soon. It really is a must-stay every time you are in Amsterdam.

Towards the end of the night I also saw the British guy standing around, and feeling sorry for him not being 'popular', I went to go and have a little chat about his career and how he got the gig.

The city of bikes
The past few days mum and I have been in Amsterdam. Admittedly tired, weary and slightly unwell we are both rather excited to get home to Australian soil but first we must explore. This canal city is rather impressive in that cars MUST give way to bikes... Never have I ever witnessed a car slam on its breaks to allow a bike to roll past. ...

The next day we woke up to dumping a bucket of water on our heads, thanks for the ALS nominations Chris and Kenny.

... in Amsterdam! We would have liked to visit Anne Frank house and hear more about her story but the online tickets were sold out for several weeks, and the queue any time we went near it was down the street and around the corner, and we agreed we had better things to do than wait in a queue for hours!
I can't really remember the rest of our daily detailed itinerary (it all kind of blends into one!), so I'll just write about a few of the other highlights.

Just after Thanksgiving last year, our apartment had to undergo emergency repairs. We were to be out a total of three weeks, but we did not know it then. We got to this hotel after week 1. By then our nerves were still frazzled, the kids were a bit undone by the new routine (and upset by our previous accomodations) and I was just anxious about a million things. Then the insurance company offered us the Holiday Inn Manhattan View. Finally, heaven was smiling! This is such a gem of a hotel. It is modern on the outside, yet the rooms have touch of warmth and very spacious. I believe most every room has a view of Manhattan, either a balcony or an extra alcove. Our rooms had an alcove with a nice ottoman where you could lie down, throw open the curtains and enjoy the view! Serenity, just what we needed! It is so clean and neat, our housekeeping staff were starting to feel like family. The front desk folks were so nice and accommodating. One of them is named "Rambo", that still makes me smile. When you visit, you'll see why! There is a Brazilian eat-all-you-can restaurant in house. They also served decent breakfasts, buffet or a la carte. One of the best things about this hotel is it is just TWO STOPS away from Bloomingdale's in Manhattan. That is closer to the Upper East side, than Times Square is! And the other best thing: you are in Queens! Which means fabulous eating is just a few subway stops away: Astoria, Jackson Heights, Long Island City, Woodside, Flushing. We ended up staying two weeks. The kids did not want to leave anymore! This hotel is definitely #1 on my list to recommend to out of town guests from now on!

Eat This Now | October 21st, 2015PomegranatesBosc PearsGreen BeansHass AvocadosKitchen Tip of the Week
Best if used by 10/28/15
Peak Season Best Flavor Value Priced
Pomegranates from California are back in season! The Wonderful variety is in, making now through mid-December the best time of the year to enjoy this ancient super food. The delicious prize inside a fresh Pomegranate is the juicy, sweet, bold flavored arils (seeds encapsulated with sacs of juice). You eat the arils whole. These arils are fantastic by themselves as a flavorful snack – juicy, sweet, a little tangy then crunchy. The taste is somewhere between concord grape juice and cranberry juice. Pomegranate arils can also be used to top a salad, in yogurt parfaits, with desserts or cocktails, and of course for juicing. Me? I love them as a delicious snack!
Pomegranate Tips
- Select fresh Pomegranates that are firm and heavy for their size, a sign of plenty of juice content inside the fruit.
- Scarring on the skin really has no impact on the internal quality of the fruit.
- Red color of the skin can vary from variety to variety and is not a true indicator of aril quality.
- Store Pomegranates in the fridge for best shelf-life, but they'll last for a week or so on the counter.
- Want the fresh Arils without the work of opening the fruit? Containers of fresh Pomegranate Arils will be sold in most supermarkets now through Christmas.
How to open a PomegranateOpening a Pomegranate can feel intimidating to those that haven't done it before. And if you do decide to hack open a fresh Pomegranate on a cutting board and then pry the membranes apart, get ready to clean up your crime scene – I mean, kitchen. There will be juice splattering on your cutting surface and surrounding area, and likely on you. Good news: There are smarter ways! Here are the two methods I use in my kitchen for speed and to avoid big messes: Aqua Method You'll need a knife, large bowl of water and a colander. 1 large peak season Pomegranate nets about a cereal bowl full of Arils.
- Slice the crown off the top.
- Score the skin making 4-5 cuts from top to bottom.
- Open the Pomegranate over the bowl of water or in the water.
- Pull the arils from membranes under water to keep the splatter to a minimum.
- Edible arils sink. Inedible membranes float, Strain one from the other and you're done!
- Halve the fruit horizontally between the stem and blossom ends.
- Put it face down on the deseeder grate and tap (or slap) out the arils with a heavy utensil onto a plate. Voila.
Bosc Pears
Peak Season Best Flavor
Like a crunchy pear? Bosc is the right variety for you. Don't let the russeted-brown skin, long neck and rustic looks fool you, these pears are beautifully delicious! Bosc feature honey-sweet flavor and a delightful juicy-crisp texture make them perfect for snacking, salads and desserts. The 2015 crop of USA Bosc Pears is now in peak season. Pears and apples are excellent for sweetening your green juices and other veggie juices because the fruit contains lots of liquid and is low on the glycemic index. Did you know that when using pears in juice extractor recipes it is actually ideal to use a firm to hard pear? This is why Bosc are ideal for this purpose. Fully soft-ripe pears can make your juices sludgy and grainy in texture and leave extra juice in the discarded pulp fiber.
Green Beans
Peak Season Best Flavor Value Priced
Green Beans will be an excellent fresh vegetable choice the rest of October since they're in peak season from farms along the Eastern Seaboard, further south from areas already nipped by frost. Keep and eye out of in-store and advertised specials! Steam, boil or stir-fry Green Beans until they are just tender. Did you know you can roast Green Beans too? The short cooking time at high temps locks in the flavor, yet adds caramelization for an even more pleasing taste.
Recipe: Roasted Green Beans and Bosc PearsA simple, sweet and savory dish to get your taste buds in the mood for Fall flavors.
- Pre-heat oven to 450F
- Wash and trim ends of 1lb fresh Green Beans
- Core 2 Bosc Pears, then Slice Pears length-wise with skin on about ½" thick or less
- Toss Beans and Pears with 3 tbsp Olive Oil, 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- Season with these ingredients then re-toss to coat evenly
- 1 tsp Coarse Salt
- ½ tsp Black Pepper
- ½ tsp Ground Ginger powder
- Spread Beans and Pears out on a large baking tray
- Roast at 450F for 8-10 minutes, then stir and flip with a spatula
- Add ½ cup chopped Walnuts
- Roast an additional 8 minutes until beans are tender
Green Bean Tips
- Select Green Beans that feel firm and snappy.
- Avoid Beans that are limp, wilted, discolored or have sunken areas.
- Store Green Beans in a plastic container or bag in the crisper of your refrigerator for up to 3-4 days and wash them just before use.
- Prepare Green Beans for cooking by simply cutting the stem and calyx off the top and the slender point from the bottom.
- Bags of Microwaveable Green Beans that are already washed and trimmed are a time saver, though you pay extra for the convenience.
Roasted Green Beans and Bosc Pears
Hass Avocados
Peak Season Best Flavor Value Priced
Hass Avocados continue to be a popular item. Avocados are healthy, flavorful and great for way more stuff than just traditional Mexican cuisine (which I love too)! Their creamy texture and rich taste great are excellent on salads, sandwiches, in dressings and smoothies and as topping for savory dishes. Plus, Avocados have monounsaturated fat that actually helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and raises HDL (good) cholesterol; they're loaded with fiber, and have folate and potassium. The fresh crop of Hass Avocados from Mexico is peaking on large fruit right now – both organic and conventional – so expect sale pricing and in-store specials on the bigger fruit this Fall. Great for game-day snacking or homemade meals. Eating quality has been good.
How-To Ripen
- If the Hass Avocados you purchase are hard, then store them at room temperature until they ripen.
- Hass Avocados are ripe and ready to cut when they begin to give to gentle thumb pressure.
- Once an uncut Hass Avocado reaches its ripe stage and you're not ready to eat it, put it in the fridge to keep it at that ripeness stage for another day or two.
Easy ways to make Guacamole at Home
- Official Recipe: A quick video tutorial
- Restaurant Hack Recipe: Three large ripe pitted Hass Avocados, flesh mixed/smashed with 1 jar of salsa verde
- Supermarket Combo: Three large ripe pitted Hass Avocados, mix with 1 can of Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies (like Rotel), juice from ½ lime, season to taste with salt and pepper
More Ideas
- Get the day started with an energizing Avocado-Banana Smoothie.
- How about some fresh guacamole for a snack or to top your favorite savory dish?
- Plenty of healthy and delicious Avocado Recipes abound here.

Kitchen Tip of the Week
How to Toast Hard Squash and Pumpkin Seeds
Wait! Don't throw out those hard squash and pumpkin seeds when cooking and carving this Fall. Toasted Pumpkin Seeds are great for a home-made savory snack food and are excellent for topping salads. Here's how to do it:
- Scoop seeds and pulp from any variety of Hard Squash or any kind of Pumpkin
- By hand separate most seeds from pulp
- In a strainer, run hot water over the seeds to clean them, then remove any remaining pulp that is in the strainer
- Toss seeds in 1 tbsp olive oil (or a blast of olive oil spray) in a mixing bowl then spread the seeds on a baking tray
- Season to taste with coarse salt and black pepper, or your favorite seasoning blend
- Roast at 250 degrees for 40-60 min. or 350 degrees for 25-35 min.

I need a way to stop 100 running workflows. I know that I can do it manually by clicking the elements in a list and canceling the associated workflow. However, this would take a while, and I can't spend all day doing that. I also know there is a way to do this with MS Powershell scripting, but I cannot change the scripting policy to allow scripting, so that is not an option. Is there any other way to automate this task?
If you don't want to use Powershell, then only option is to open the site in Designer and remove them.
Hope the suggestion helps!
You can go to List Settings, Select Workflows Settings, and Click Remove Workflow, remove all the workflows - that will get rid of everything - if you want the workflow back, return to Designer and republish it.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 60/120,270, filed Feb. 16, 1999.
This invention relates to borehole liners, and, more particularly, to the use of long flexible liners to emplace instruments and sampling devices in boreholes and the like.
In drilling boreholes for emplacement of measurement or sampling devices, the common practice is to install the desired device in the borehole and then to seal the entire hole with a sealing material. U.S. Pat. No. 5,176,207, issued Jan. 5, 1993, to Keller, teaches the use of a flexible tubular member to both seal and support a borehole and to carry instruments into a borehole as the flexible member is everted into the borehole. Instrumentation and sampling devices can then be placed directly in contact with the surrounding structure. These everting liners may be installed from the interior of a pressure canister into the hole or otherwise everted into a borehole or other cavity.
An alternative to drilling single wells to obtain water samples at several elevations in an aquifer is to install several wells of different depths in one deep hole (called nested wells). However, the sealing of a bundle of well casings is difficult. Hence vertical flow in the interstitial spaces in the nested well bundle can prevent the isolation required for the several wells. This problem of a vertical seal of several wells in one hole is especially evident when installing several wells in a very slender, economical borehole.
The present invention allows the emplacement of several wells in a borehole that is sealed, not by a fill material poured around the wells, but rather, with a pressurized flexible liner surrounding the wells. System components are available as needed for repair or replacement. The hole remains open and available for other purposes.
When flexible liners are everted into boreholes, and the like, any instrumentation and sampling tubing attached to the liner must evert with the liner. The instrumentation and tubing will then have to conform to the radius of curvature of the liner at the bottom end of the everting liner. In a small diameter borehole, this radius of curvature will be quite small and can limit the use of such instrumentation and sampling tubing. Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to permit the use of everting liners for sampling and instrumentation in small diameter boreholes.
Various objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
To achieve the foregoing and other objects, and in accordance with the purposes of the present invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, a flexible liner system provides for instrumentation and sampling within a cavity. An elongated flexible liner effectively contacts wall portions of the cavity when inflated within the cavity and has a top and a bottom and has perforations open to the cavity wall portions at selected locations along the liner. At least one sleeve is sealed to the flexible liner and extends from the top portion of the liner to a perforation at one of the selected locations along the liner to define a sealed interior open to a cavity wall portion. A well casing may be place within the sleeve for fluid sampling or for emplacing instrumentation adjacent the perforations in the flexible liner.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form a part of the specification, illustrate embodiments of the present invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention. In the drawings:
FIGS. 1A and 1B are side and top cross-section views, respectively of a flexible liner with an interior sleeve according to one embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a side cross-section showing sampler well emplacement in a well formed in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a side cross-section showing a sampler well fully emplaced in the liner well.
FIGS. 4A and 4B are side cross-sections showing an embodiment having several wells in a single liner for multiple sampling/instrumentation placements.
FIG. 5 is a side cross-section showing inversion removal (or deflation) of the liner from a borehole, or the like.
FIGS. 6A and 6B are side and top views of an alternate construction of a well in a flexible liner.
FIGS. 7A and 7B are cross-sections illustrating the use of a small diameter inverting liner to install an instrument/sampling tube in a sleeve.
In accordance with the present invention, a pressurized flexible liner is everted within a borehole, or other cavity such as a pipe, to seal the cavity. Sleeves are located on either the external or internal surface of the liner so as to allow, e.g., a well screen and casing or instrumentation device to be emplaced in each sleeve. The sleeve isolates the well casing from the fluid in the liner and allows the well to draw water (or other pore fluids) from the formation surrounding the bore hole. Likewise, instrumentation can be placed and removed from selected locations along the cavity while maintaining support of and contact with the cavity wall. The result is a set of nested wells at relatively low cost with exceptionally good isolation of each well screen from the others.
The installation of a flexible liner into a borehole or pipe can be done in many ways. Examples of such installations are: U.S. Pat. No. 4,064,211 by Wood; U.S. Pat. No. 5,176,207 by Keller; U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/484,299, filed Jan. 18, 2000, by Keller; or by simply lowering the liner into the hole. The emplaced liner has the features shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B. The impermeable liner 10 has an open upper end and a closed lower end. The lower end may be attached to a tube or cord (not shown) for retrieval of the liner by inversion. In accordance with the present invention, impermeable sleeve 12 is attached to a surface of liner 10. As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, sleeve 12 is preferably attached to the interior surface of liner 10, but sleeve 12 could be attached to the exterior surface (surface that faces the cavity) of liner 10. In a preferred design, liner 10 and sleeve 12 are formed of thermoplastic materials and are "welded" together using a hot press process.
At the elevation from which the pore fluid is to be extracted, liner 10 defines one or more perforations 14 to allow access of the pore fluids into the interior of sleeve 12. If sleeve 12 is on the exterior of liner 10, sleeve 12 will define perforations 14. The interior 16 of liner 10 is filled with a pressurizing fluid, typically water, that urges liner 10 against the hole wall to effect a seal against vertical flow in the hole. The level of fluid 22 in liner 10 is higher than the level of fluid 24 in the formation 18 to assure the dilation of liner 10 against the hole wall. Sleeve 12 initially has only that fluid that has seeped into sleeve 12 from formation 18, but the fluid pressure in the interior of liner 10 tends to collapse sleeve 12 and prevent any such fluid accumulation in sleeve 12.
FIG. 2 depicts emplacement of a slender well casing and screen assembly 32 in sleeve 12. The rounded end 34 of screen 36 is inserted into sleeve 12 and pushed downward until the fluid pressure against the exterior of sleeve 12 resists further insertion. A liquid (e.g., water) is then added to the interior of well casing 42 at the top. The water flows downward in casing 42 and out of screen section 36 to dilate sleeve 12 against the fluid pressure in liner 10. Since the water is added to well casing 42 at a higher level 44, the fluid pressure inside sleeve 12 is greater than that in liner 10. This excess pressure dilates sleeve 12 and allows well casing 42 to be inserted deeper into sleeve 12.
When well casing 42 reaches the depth desired to align screen 36 with the perforations 14 in liner 10, as shown in FIG. 3, the installation of well casing 42 is complete. Now the water can flow from the formation through perforations 14 in liner 10 into slotted screen 36 at the bottom end of well casing 42. The water 44 rises in well casing 42 to allow withdrawal of the water using a variety of pumping methods. A bailer, a pump tube 48 from a pump at the surface, or a check valve 46 can be included in well casing 42 above screen 36 to allow the water to be forced up a central tube 48 by displacement with a gas pressure provided in well casing 42.
FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate an embodiment with liner 10 having several interior sleeves 60, 61 to allow pore water sampling at several elevations in a single liner. Another feature is U shaped "stirrups" 58 that may be formed of strips of flexible material welded at locations 59 into the bottom end of sleeves 60, 61 to prevent well casings 53, 55 from being forced past the proper location in the sleeves. Stirrups 58 also serve as a seat for the well casings so that the casings do not rest against the welded lower end of the sleeves and cause a failure of the end weld of the sleeves. Typically, the two side pieces of the stirrup are welded one to the liner and the other to the opposite side of the sleeve to support the end of the casing.
FIG. 5 shows inversion of sleeved liner 10 from the hole after the well casings are withdrawn, if desired. The well casings are removed by simply filling the casing with water to dilate the sleeve against the liner water fill pressure. The casing is withdrawn from the sleeve in the reverse of the installation procedure. Once the casings are removed, liner 10 can be inverted from the hole by pulling upward on central tether 56 provided for that purpose. In some situations, the central tether is a tube that may be used in the emplacement procedure for liner 10.
FIGS. 6A and 6B depict an alternate construction of interior sleeve 62. In this embodiment, water tight sleeve 62 is a separate tubular passage connected at its bottom end to orifice 64 through the wall of liner 10. The tubular passage provides a conduit as a sleeve continuously welded to the wall of liner 10, as described for FIGS. 1A and 1B. Sleeve 62 may be made of a very thin walled flexible material. Tubular sleeve 62 may also be attached to the wall of liner 10 at many locations with straps 66, or a discontinuously welded sleeve, to allow liner 10 to be inverted from the hole or everted into the hole.
FIGS. 7A and 7B show the installation of a tube 71 in the continuously welded sleeve 12. In some instances, tube 71 lacks the rigidity of the well casings, discussed above, and must be pulled into sleeve 12 via a small diameter everting liner 72. Everting liner 72 is driven by the addition of water at annulus 74. The resulting water level 76 inside everting liner is higher than water level 77 inside sealing liner 10, which is higher than the water table in the formation 78. The result of these three relative levels is that liner 10 is dilated in the hole and sleeve 12 is distended by everting liner 72. Everting liner 72 is attached to tube 71 above the slots in tube end 75.
As everting liner 72 everts, tube 71 is drawn downward through the interior of sleeve 12. Everting liner 72 and tube 71 are sized such that, when everting liner 72 is fully extended, perforated end 75 of tube 71 extends into sleeve 12 adjacent perforations 14 in sealing liner 10. FIG. 7B shows how the water in the formation is free to flow into tube 71 through perforations 14 and into slots 75. Water level 79 in tube 71 rises to a level equal to water level 78 in the formation. This tube geometry allows water to be pumped from the formation via tube 71. In an unsaturated medium, the same installation procedure allows pore gas to be drawn from the formation via tube 71.
The installation of a flexible tubing in the sleeves with everting liners allows the use of the method in holes that are too crooked to allow a rigid well casing to be installed in the sleeves. The everting liners and tubing are removed very simply by pulling upward on the central tube. The same procedure can be used to install tubing in horizontal sealing liners.
When a hole is drilled into a stable geologic medium, the hole is often stable and self supporting. A flexible liner can be everted, or lowered, into the hole, as desired. The water fill of the liner will support and seal the hole against vertical flow much like an inflatable bladder. This is a relatively inexpensive device for sealing the hole. By providing the sealing liner with the interior sleeves of this invention, well casings, or tubing, can be emplaced in the sleeves to obtain water samples from several depths in the hole sealed by the liner. The number of sampling elevations is only limited by the number of sleeves that can be emplaced on the interior surface of the liner.
In another application, the flexible liner can be emplaced in an unstable hole temporarily supported by a rigid liner as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/484,299, filed Jan. 18, 2000. The rigid liner can be removed while the hole is supported by the flexible liner. After the rigid liner is withdrawn from the hole, the well casings can be emplaced in the interior sleeves of the flexible liner left in place. This has been done in holes formed by a rigid push rod. The hole formed is very slender (2-3 inch diameter). A particular advantage was that the interior dimension of the rigid liner was too small for any tubing of use in sampling. After the flexible liner dilates in the hole, there is sufficient room for the emplacement of the well casings.
In another application, the flexible liner can be emplaced in a horizontal hole by the common eversion of a flexible liner into a hole. Once the flexible liner is in place, the well casings can be inserted in the interior sleeves to gain the ability to withdraw from, or inject fluids into, the formation.
An advantage of the installation of a flexible liner into a hole, especially a slender hole, is that the liner seals the hole much like a packer (a common inflatable bladder used to seal holes). The quality of the seal of an inflatable liner in the hole is more predictable and of better quality than the common method of filling the annulus between the hole wall and the well casing with a granular or liquid fill material. This is especially true for the sealing of a bundle of well casings in a hole with the associated difficulty of sealing the interstitial spaces of the casing bundle with the fill material. By having all the well casings interior to the sealing liner, the interstitial spaces need not be filled except by the pressurizing fluid in the liner. The fluid is in place before the casings are installed in this method.
Another inherent advantage of this method is that a flexible liner can be inverted into a slender passage without the tubing attached to the liner as is the case in U.S. Pat. No. 5,176,207, to Keller. Once the liner is in position, the tubing can installed separately via the sleeves without the need to evert the tubing with the liner. This allows the use of much more stiff and larger tubing than can be inverted with the liner to withdraw or inject fluids.

Beat The Heat: Extremely High Temperatures In The Forecast
State health and emergency preparedness agencies offer tips to stay healthy and safe
MADISON-State emergency management and health officials are urging everyone to beat the heat if you have to be outside or in non-air conditioned homes this week, and to check on older or isolated neighbors who may need assistance. Temperatures are expected to rise to the mid-90s, with heat indexes reaching a potentially dangerous 95-108 degree range.
Heat is one of the leading causes of weather-related deaths in Wisconsin and in the United States. Those who are most at risk are older adults and young children, and people living with chronic or mental health conditions. General heat exhaustion symptoms include fainting, rash, fatigue and nausea. Skin can become clammy and moist, or hot and dry. Heat stroke can come on rapidly and may progress to life-threatening illness within minutes. If heat-related symptoms appear, action should be taken immediately to reduce body temperature. This includes taking a cool shower, bath or sponge bath. Wearing wet clothing also has a cooling effect.

Dar a Luz Birth & Health Center sits on a lush plot of land in the North Valley, set back from the road and abutted by agricultural plots. The sprawling center seems about as un-hospital-like as Abigail Lanin Eaves could make it.

MBIA Knew of Risks Behind Mortgages, BofA's Countrywide Says
MBIA Inc., which sued Bank of America Corp.'s Countrywide Financial in 2008 over mortgages backing securities the insurer guaranteed, knew of the risks behind the loans and can't claim it was defrauded, Countrywide said.
MBIA knew of the risk of losses on the securities it agreed to insure and placed $21 billion at risk in 15 securitizations without reviewing a single loan file, Countrywide said in a filing today in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan.
"Countrywide provided MBIA with ample warning of the risks involved in insuring the securitizations," Countrywide said in a motion seeking pre-trial summary judgment rulings in its favor.
Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America and MBIA, which also filed a summary judgment motion today, will argue the motions before Justice Eileen Bransten.
MBIA claimed in its filing that at least 56 percent of the loans at issue were "materially defective" and that Countrywide compounded its misconduct by refusing to buy back loans. Countrywide also orchestrated a strategy to frustrate the repurchase process, the bond insurer said.
"Countrywide's overarching goal in responding to repurchase demands was to reduce exposure and limit losses to the company, rather than adhere to its contractual repurchase obligations," Armonk, New York-based MBIA said.
The case is MBIA Insurance Corp. v. Countrywide Home Loans Inc., 602825-2008, New York State Supreme Court (Manhattan).

KUUSAMO, Finland -- Marit Bjorgen of Norway won the women's
10-kilometer classic style cross country race Saturday for her
third straight World Cup victory of the season.
Bjorgen, the World Cup champion, finished ahead of Finland's
Virpi Kuitunen and Germany's Claudia Kuenzel to follow her success
at a sprint in Germany and a 10K classic in Norway.
The 25-year-old finished in 26 minutes, 33 seconds, beating
Kuitunen by 29 seconds. Kuenzel finished in 27:06.7.
"This felt easier than when I won in Beitostolen," Bjorgen
said. "The start to the season has been very good, but I expect to
get challenged."
Bjorgen leads the overall standings with 300 points. Kuitunen
has 200 and Aino-Kaisa Saarinen 160.
